Medical Device Acquisition Due Diligence

Medical Device Acquisition Due Diligence

A leading nuclear research institute considering an investment in a European medical device company asked our consultants to undertake market, technical, IP and regulatory due diligence on a target medical device company.

A major nuclear physics research institute was considering the acquisition of a European radiopharmaceutical medical device company that had an established business, but more importantly for the client a number of new medical device products in development that could provide a commercial outlet for its own products. It asked us if we could undertake a due diligence consultancy exercise to cover in detail all aspects of the opportunity presented by the new products in development including: a market assessment in the all the main markets in Europe, and in the USA; an analysis of the regulatory path to market including likely costs and time-scales for clinical trials; a review of the product development plans and the feasibility of the technology including the device manufacturability; an assessment of the product from a user perspective; an audit of the company’s quality system. In addition to visiting the target company and spending several days on-site we used our extensive network of medical device consultants to identify clinicians, key opinion leaders and procurement managers in all of the main territories and conducted over forty interviews to help assess the products and the market opportunity that they presented.

We are a specialist medical device consultancy consisting of industry experts with long and successful track records in commercialising medical device products. We have broad functional and sector experience, and would welcome an opportunity to discuss with you any challenge relating to creating sustainable value from medical technologies.
